                       UNITED STATES FILTER CORPORATION
                 RECEIVES ANTITRUST CLEARANCE TO PROCEED WITH
                  THE ACQUISITION OF INTERLAKE WATER SYSTEMS

PALM DESERT, CALIFORNIA, July 13, 1995 - United States Filter Corporation 
(NYSE:USF) announced today that it had received antitrust clearance to proceed 
with the acquisition of Interlake Water Systems. Interlake was founded over 35 
years ago by Bill Stockdale, Jr., a pioneer in the service deionization 
business. At the time of Mr. Stockdale's death late last year, Interlake had 
grown from a single Chicago location to a network of 14 sales and service 
locations across the Midwest. Offering a broad range of water treatment products
and services, Interlake is also U.S. Filter's largest franchised dealer for its 
Continental products. The transaction is expected to close within 30 days 
subject to signing of a definitive purchase agreement. Terms were not disclosed.

Interlake supplies systems and services to industrial customers throughout Ohio,
Indiana, Michigan, Illinois and Wisconsin. Interlake's 160 people are supported 
by two state-of-the-art ion exchange resin regeneration plants, one in Chicago 
and one in Detroit. Interlake revenues for 1994 were in excess of $21 million.

"Interlake is another extension by U.S. Filter into the service and parts 
business," commented Richard J. Heckmann, Chairman and CEO of U.S. Filter. "They
also expand the distribution of our laboratory products line and can now offer 
their 3,200 customers access to all of U.S. Filter's products and services," he 
said.

U.S. Filter, the country's largest manufacturer of water and wastewater 
treatment systems, specializes in water management and resource recovery
services for industrial, commercial and municipal customers. With corporate
offices in Palm Desert, Calif., the company serves customers worldwide through
more than 70 U.S. sales, service and regeneration facilities, 30 international
offices and 11 manufacturing plants.
